Reviews portray Homer’s as a vibrant donut spot with huge, fresh, fluffy donuts in a wide range of flavors from classic glazed to creme brulee and maple bacon, with many praising the texture, balance of sweetness, and generous portions that justify the price for some. The shop’s playful Simpsons theme, bright pink decor, and on-site vibe with arcade games contribute to a memorable experience, and staff are frequently described as friendly, helpful, and attentive. Freshness and variety are recurring positives, and several flavors like pistachio, cookie monster, and the creme brulee are singled out as standouts, while packaging and takeout boxes are noted for being sturdy. A few reviewers find some flavors overly sweet or the price high for average donuts, and a small number report inconsistency or oiliness in certain batches. Allergens safety is mentioned by at least one reviewer who highlighted peanut concerns with a specific flavor. Overall, the sentiment is strongly favorable, with many calling it the best or a must-visit donut spot in the area, though some warn that taste can feel uniform across flavors and that the hype may not match every experience.
A charming place, with great choices & excellent service. The shop has cute sitting spaces & comfortable chairs.
The donuts are large, fluffy & NOT oily, a problem I have had in many other places.
They are fresh & look exactly like in the pictures I am posting.
I will be direct here: these are the best donuts in the city.
Hope the owners will keep the quality of their donuts & won't start cutting corners.
Well done, you definitely deserve a 📌 on the map.

100% WORTH EVERY SINGLE PENNY you spend over there. If I m craving a doughnut sometime during the day, I'm no longer going to TimHortons. TimHortons can't even compete with Homer's. Homer's blows TimHortons right out of the water !! Their doughnuts are so fluffy & delicious! The Apple fritters are so moist & dense & the slightly slice it open to fit two slices of apples almost like an apple fritter sandwich! The Maple bacon is unlike anything i've ever tried! AMAZING !!!! Their cheesecake doughnut has a PERFECT balance between strawberry & cream cheese filling! Their Lotus cookie doughnut was a bit dull in terms of flavor but still very fluffy ! The cookie monster doughnut was very tasty & the Elmo doughnut was slightly better due to the light strawberry frosting they put on top!!
Homer's Donut Shop is an absolute gem for anyone who loves a good donut (& let's be honest, who doesn't?)!
As soon as you step in, you're hit with the irresistible scent of freshly baked goodness.
Their selection is both playful & classic whether you're into the classic glazed donuts or feeling adventurous with something seasonal, they've got you covered!
The donuts are soft, fluffy, & the perfect balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. Plus, there's something about the vibe here, the staff is always chill & ready to recommend a donut that'll hit the spot. It's the kind of place where you can't help but smile with every bite.
Seriously, if you're in the area, make sure to swing by Homer's. It's an experience that goes beyond just satisfying your sweet tooth, it's a mini celebration in every bite!
We visited Homers donut shop on Sherbrooke Street West in Montreal & it did not disappoint. The interior & exterior are vibrant & inviting, matching the variety of colorful donuts they offer. We tried several donuts, & they were all tasty. The crème brûlée donut was absolutely delicious, with a perfect caramelized topping. The apple fritter was flavorful, & the Boston cream was generously filled with a rich, tasty cream. Beyond the donuts, we couldn't resist trying their deep-fried crispy chicken sandwich served between two donuts (sorry no photo). It's as wild as it sounds, but the result was incredibly delicious It was messy, indulgent, & absolutely satisfying! My partner & I shared one, & it was the perfect amount. The staff were extremely patient & friendly, making the visit even better. We're still working our way through the donuts we bought, but so far, we're loving their light & fluffy texture. Can't wait to try the rest!"
I'm all for artisanal doughnuts, but these didn't quite hit the spot for me, I prefer dough that is more fluffy & wasn't a huge fan of the icing either. Still a totally decent spot, & I like the late opening hours.
This place is amazing! If you're looking for that classic soft fluffy doughnut, this is the place! Great service , nice atmosphere, kid friendly & a wide range of flavours. So good!! 🤤🤤🤤
This is a must visit if you like donuts. Especially, the ones that are the size of your head. Ordered a dozen variety donuts & they all were great. Very fluffy & not too heavy.

Among the best donuts I've had. So soft fluffy & full of flavor. Be prepared for line ups here, but very quickly moving. Lots of selection, fresh all day. Price is amazing & Service is fantastic.
The best donut in town. I started with a plain nothing donut so that I can taste the dough, it was great. Fluffy, flavorful, with a hint of sweetness. I then had some flavors. The cinnamon sugar & glaze donuts are amazing. Pistachio was epic, & the lemon stuffed is my favorite. 10/10 have been a few times & will for sure be back.
Such high quality donuts with a wide variety of flavours for an affordable price. A box of 6 cost 16$ & the donuts were HUGE. My favourites were the apple donut & the original glazed. The donuts were not too sweet & were fluffy melt in your mouth. We came on a Saturday afternoon & surprisingly no line.
The donuts are sooo good! We arrived around 10:30 & they were fresh & fluffy, so tasty. The apple donut was amazing & of course the cookie monster donut was adorable. The staff was super sweet also & I think we saw the owner walking around making sure things were in order. The next time we are in Montreal we will stop by again for sure!
Very small & popular place. Be ready to wait in line for a while, but trust me, the wait is worth it even for half a dozen of these babies. Their donuts are HUGE! Very soft, fluffy & airy, without any overpowering oily taste. They have different flavours, but to be honest, the best are the plain ones (glazed, cinnamon sugar or maple). They have apple fritters but are not the conventional type: theirs are stuffed with a similar apple pie filling.
